Internal or external regulator?

Hi all. What's this under the fuel inlet? There's a screw but nothing attached to it. Looks removable.
It's in the way of the steel fuel line I want to put on.
Thanks all.

That's the bracket for anchoring the manual choke cable.. Presently, the cable is inappropriately attached to the intake manifold.

Can they bracket come off? However the choke cable is mounted seems to work fine.

Hard line (Steel or Aluminum) will still work with that bracket in place using a single feed fuel line kit (see below link/example).

You would be removing the current rubber hose fitting/adapter that is currently installed on your carb.

I recommend keeping the manual choke bracket, get a new choke cable and route it properly utilizing the choke bracket, it is designed to support and secure the choke cable properly.

This is the one I got. Wouldn't the angle be the same?
I'm thinking the problem is is that I just put the fuel line in the general area and didn't remove the inlet fitting. Maybe remove the inlet fitting and maybe it'll mount up better.

That fuel line will look like this installed. This is an electric choke but same concept.

The one you got will work nicely. Yes, you need to remove the inlet fitting before installing the hard line from Edelbrock. Word of caution: These hardline kits work great. They come with two sealing washers, one for each side of the hard line fitting to the carb, work carefully when installing to ensure they are lined up and not binding on anything as you slowly thread it in. Try to get it in as far as you can using finger strength first, then snug up with a good wrench, you do not need to over crank/torque on this fitting to get a good seal.

Well I was going to fuss about that mess and then went looking for instructions to hook The cable up and I can't find any. Still they put that bracket that they want 24 bucks and change for there for a reason even though from what I see they expect you to see that you have to bend two 90 degree angles in the cable to make it work. Edelbrock fell down on the job because they assumed that you could figure out how to do it right without instructions.

Figure out how much distance you need from the end of the housing when the housing is clamped in the bracket to the center of the hole and make it on the cable and bend a 90 so the cable will go through the hole and then bend another 90 about 1/8 inch from that one so the cable continues straight. Cut the excess off leaving a half inch or so and install it and tighten the clamp on the housing and you have it done right.

This is what mine looks like. I used Edelbrock 8126 chrome fuel line.
